43576Sir Charles Moore 1844-1916 Army Officer Engineer and Administrator saying that he has "probably heard that I am to replace you at Souakin. I am very sorry you should leave & would never have accepted the billet had my not doing so been of the least service to you. The way it came about was on my arrival at Suez old West came on board with a telegram stating H.M. Govt wanted to know if I would accept Souakin & if so to wire to Wolff. I asked about you but could find out nothing and I felt sure you had resigned so I wired yes and wet to Alexandria & saw Wolff he then told me and I said that changed the matter but he said if I now refused there was another waiting for the post. I went up to Cairo and saw Gen Stephenson and he told me the same & that I could do you no good and would do myself much harm by refusing. He also said what I hope was the case that he was sure you would see it in the same light. I came home & saw DAG on the subject & Sir R. Thomson and found out an R.A. officer had accepted if I refused the billet and would be appted at once. I hope you think I have done right and I know you will never doubt how much rather I would like it if you could remain supposing you wish to do so." 4 sides 8vo. Junior United Service Club London 18th August In 1874 aged 24 Kitchener was assigned by the Palestine Exploration Fund to a mapping-survey of the Holy Land. By then an officer in the Royal Engineers Kitchener joined fellow officer Claude R. Conder; between 1874 and 1877 they surveyed Palestine returning to England only briefly in 1875 after an attack by locals at Safed in Galilee. Conder and Kitchener's expedition became known as the Survey of Western Palestine because it was largely confined to the area west of the Jordan River. In 1878 having completed the survey of western Palestine Kitchener was sent to Cyprus to undertake a survey of that newly acquired British protectorate. He became vice-consul in Anatolia in 1879. Sutherland was also in the Royal Engineers and worked under Kitchener in Cyprus for 6 years ending in 1886. Kitchener became Governor of the Egyptian Provinces of Eastern Sudan and Red Sea Littoral which in practice consisted of little more than the Port of Suakin in September 1886 He was created Earl Kitchener of Khartoum and of Broome in the County of Kent on June 29th 1914. Unusually provision was made for the title to be passed on to his brother and nephew since Kitchener was not married and had no children. unknown
40875starting "will be able to come and if so perhaps you could bring a shorthand-writer to take down what Togo and Nogi say to be published subsequently in your paper. I am telling them to address the boys as to what Bushido is and what it has done for them in Japan." the postscript says that if he has "any difficulty but about a short hand writer I could provide one from here" signed with an initial 'K' 1 side 4to. no place no date but Bushid are regulations for samurai attitudes behavior and lifestyle. It is loosely analogous to the European concept of chivalry. There are multiple Bushido types which evolved significantly through history. Contemporary forms of bushido are still used in the social and economic organization of Japan. Bushido is best used as an overarching term for all the codes practices philosophies and principles of samurai culture. Marshal-Admiral the Marquis T g Heihachir 1848-1934 served as admiral of the fleet in the Imperial Japanese Navy and became one of Japan's greatest naval heroes. In 1911 T g returned to England for the first time in over 30 years to attend the coronation of King George V the Coronation Fleet Review at Portsmouth to attend naval alumni dinners and visit dockyards on the Clyde and in Newcastle. Count Nogi Maresuke1849-1912 was a Japanese General in the Imperial Japanese Army and a governor-general of Taiwan. Nogi is significant to Scouting in Japan as in 1911 he went to England in attendance on Prince Higashifushimi Yorihito for the coronation of King George V. The General as the "Defender of Port Arthur" was introduced to General Robert Baden-Powell the "Defender of Mafeking" by Lord Kitchener whose expression "Once a Scout always a Scout" remains to this day. Although the first page is missing this letter is from a collection of letters to Sir Robert BADEN POWELL 1857-1941 Defender of Mafeking & Founder of the Boy Scouts and as it referring to addressing scouts it has to be to him. unknown

1916003868original letters. KITCHENER Lord Herbert 1st Earl Kitchener GREY Eric Verner Lieutenant Royal Navy. A small group of related correspondence photographs and official telegram relating to Lieutenant Grey's service and death in the loss of H.M.S. Hampshire. H.M.S Newcastle and H.M.S Hampshire 5th August 1914 - 3 June 1916. A group of 5 autograph letters signed various dates from 1 August 1914 to 3 June 1916 written in ink on naval stationery most with crowned "HMS Hampshire" device together with an official Post Office telegram announcing the loss of the vessel and two portrait photographs of Grey in uniform by J Russell and Sons; the whole housed loose the telegram glazed and framed; usual folds light handling wear overall well preserved a very good grouping. The loss of H.M.S. Hampshire on 5 June 1916 was one of the most widely reported maritime disasters of the First World War in which Herbert Kitchener was among those killed. The group centres on Lieutenant E. V. Grey Royal Navy and comprises letters written to his sister "Cis" during his service including material from the outbreak of war through to the immediate aftermath of the Battle of Jutland. The final letter dated 3 June 1916 is of particular significance. Written immediately following the Battle of Jutland 31 May-1 June 1916 it records a brief but direct contemporary reaction: "we came out of it jolly well. the ancient cruisers were rather strafed as you will see in the papers" before closing with the remark that he is "absolutely dog tired". This letter was written just two days after the battle and two days before his death. The official Admiralty telegram sent to his sister reported that H.M.S. Hampshire had been sunk with all on board. The vessel was lost off Orkney on 5 June 1916 shortly after departing on a mission carrying Lord Kitchener to Russia. There is a note written recently from a family member of Lieutenant Grey and his sister. It reads "letters from Great Granny's brother to her from HMS Hampshire he served with Lord Kitchener on it and enclosed is the telegram to say all had been sunk including Lord Kitchener and Granny's brother." A rare grouping relating Lieutenant Grey who was at the Battle of Jutland and sadly the subsequent sinking of H.M.S. Hampshire with the uncommon official telegram confirming his loss. . Very Good.
